VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.13.1] [Nyx]

[Rickpick]

I can see your points. The guy she trains/hangs out with could just be some track team members. Her mom does mention the name Zane though after the photo booth scene. This is why im thinking it could be Zane, either he's just her friend she hangs around with or her boyfriend. As for Layla setting up MC and her, maybe Val just didn't tell her in which case Layla couldn't possibly know either way. Guess we may find out who it was down the line

But her mom never mentions zane after the photobooth scene . She does mention zach though , when she confuses the picture of mc for zach

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

So, quick question: If Andres is the devil for the ultimatum, then what does that make Emily, who sat on that information until she was scared that MC was going to leave again? Then she had the nerve to blame it on Andres like they hadn't been broken up for close to a decade.

Also, it's biological fact that women have periods. It had to come up sooner or later and it's more of a conspiracy theory crap that that scene was added just so they wouldn't constantly have sex. Note that the period didn't really interfere, MC still got a blowjob, Lexi told him she can't stay either way and MC was then physically absent for almost entire period and then they had sex when he came back. Jesus, claiming that this is some kind of proof for the "this is sex only!" mantra is nothing but desperate grasping for straws.

No, it didn't. It's been five weeks of game time, meaning that every single woman in the game has had a period, yet the only time that came up was regarding Alexis not being able to have sex. If you want to stick your head in the sand and ignore the obvious, that's on you. But Alexis clearly only talked about it for one reason.

Hot take: I don't see the hype in the Alexis path and I think is over-rated. I mean its good but, I just don't see it personally being better than the other girls paths. And if you son't follow her path she becomes irrelevant and disappears from the story for the most part.

Tell me about it. The only reason it's so popular is because Nyx packed it with an insane amount of sex to make up for the lack of sex in the other storylines. This update was just them having sex and overusing the same step-sibling joke, which doesn't even make sense in the context they were using it.

 

[Dessolos]

Still feels forced that he setup both dates for the same time... if you we could make this choice earlier you wouldn't feel like such a bad situation.
I also think that despite not handing us an obvious "route closed", it can still change scenes and give you worst options with the girl that didn't go to the beach.


Pretty much this... it's no big red "ROUTE CLOSED" sign, but effectively it might be.


On more general notes this episode was really good and the "back to school" episode should also be a banger on various routes.

First Val... what happened to her? How this story will proceed? It ups the stakes on stopping Ethan...

Layla, now that she's no longer a virgin can be friskier than ever on school grounds... this can lead to a lot of sad Elena looks and Gabi jealousy.

Gabi herself told the MC to wait until school restarted... let's see what happens now.

And Elena... still untangling the mess that is her path, might be the one i'm less entusiastic about...

Even Tori doing Tori things might be better than the shitshow that is the Elena path.


I would also like sometime this week(game time) to have a Mr Donovan class, i think it will be fun seeing the girls swooning over him making the MC jealous lol.

Last but not least, i hope Erynn's internship starts this week already.
Male students thirsty, girls a bit jealous, Erynn interacting with Zane...
And maybe Erynn still wanting to drive the MC after school.
This thing has potential to be so messy and so much fun.

I really hope for the Erynn driving the MC those are some of my favorite moments with her in previous chapters just cause it feels super nice and wholesome. Tho in the context of those scenes he was making sure he goes to school if I recall. But the other thins you mentioned would be nice. Tho if Erynn does end up being an Intern wonder what that means for the realtionship , cause I don't know if the MC can keep his hands off her yet don't want to get her in trouble either.

Yeah she was a weird one for me I didn't play her path for the longest time because of the sex then ended up loving it and her character. Yeah if the comedy misses you wouldn't like her content this update. For me I loved all the comedy otherwise yeah she wouldn't be my favorite 3rd favorite path in this update.

 

[mirc]

I think the plot in this story is getting messy or the author have lack of ideas how to proceed. For Eryn, how Ethan recorded that video, is Zane is involved in that (helped Ethan blackmail Eryn), why Eryn never questioned her self about the whole situation (it would be normal to be suspicious how that happened)... Little stupid is that one guy fucked hall town, have bunch of children and nobody know about it? Highly unlikely... Well, we still have to wait for some clarifications... but it's messy situation without resolve (at least normal one).

I thought this was one of her better episodes, i think she's better when it's not her and the MC alone and she has other characters to bounce off on.
This episode she had, her dad, Lakeyin, her mom, Layla which helped.

I do agree that she's quantity over quality overall.

It will be interesting having them interact on school grounds, will they act super serious and keep their distance?
And if so... how long that will hold?
Will others start noticing that the MC is super close to "Mrs Erynn"? Perhaps too close
It should be an even tougher secret to hold on than Gabi(and Gabi can be one of the characters who feels a certain way about Erynn+MC).

hmmm I might wait and see for the next update but.... I did not consider adding Gabi to a "mixed" Erynn path. But that could be very interesting. If she does start there as a intern.... I only played Gabi's path once truth be told never been that interested in her path the moment I found out she is a teacher. A certain LI from a certain college game made me stay away from LI that work for a school if the MC is a student of course there are some rare exceptions.

The dad scenes are the only scenes that worked for me on that branch.
Though that begs the question: If she and Layla have such a famous athlete for a dad, how is it not well known? You'd figure that people would swarm Layla at high school trying to get autographs.

I find the Gabi path very interesting, and she often takes notice of your flirty actions towards other characters(tipically Layla, they are positioned as rivals).
And she definitely can be one who takes notice(and issue) of your closeness to Erynn.

And that's before the photoshoot starts being shared between students, the MC about to become a school legend lol.

I thought the scene with her cousin Lakeyin in the pizza place when they pretend not know each other was pretty fun.
So were the fights with Layla imo.

Maybe that's the reason they don't use the name he used on his career... they go by Monroe and he used to play under the name Enzo Allegra.

It could be, but I'd imagine he'd have stalkers, so they'd know them anyway.I reckon I'll handwave it away and ignore the lack of paparazzi because it's a relatively rich town from the careers of the few parents we know.

 

[bobfornow]

One of the things I love about Intertwined is how it's setting up some competition or rivalry for the MC with the LI's, we see that especially in this episode.

We see Erynn being reconnected with Zane (Mr Donovan) just after the beach date with the MC. Erynn telling the MC about him being in for a surprise soon, when he jokes about her standing infront of a classroom during the date. I believe the surprise is that she is also going to be doing an internship at his school, just like Zane is doing. This will obviously cause them to be working together, which is certain to cause some major jealousy for the MC.

Nikki moving to Madison Springs, she says that she is probably going to try and find part time work at a gym there. I believe that Zane is gym guy that we see training with Val. We also see Zane say to his friend how he can't stop thinking about Nikki since seeing her at the beach bar with the MC, if you also go on Val's beach date while on Nikki path. I believe that Zane and Nikkis paths will cross at the gym no doubt.

So many developers are afraid to do this IMO, for the player to feel like there's a threat to the MC being "centre of the world" which of course he still is, but a bit of friendly rivalry is a good thing I think.
It also gives a "fuckboy" MC some consequences perhaps? If he is messing around with other girls and gets found out, he see's the girl he's been "dating" ride off into the sunset with someone else.

Yeah me too, I don't like when LI's are acting like Mc is the only man in the world. I mean it's good to have some competition.

What even is this? None of the love interests even remotely look like a guy

Time for the point in the update where I break up with Alexis aka the Val branch
Ok that breakup scene was easily her best scene of the update if not of the game.

Lol sorry couldn't resist

 

[Rickpick]

A certain LI from a certain college game made me stay away from LI that work for a school if the MC is a student of course there are some rare exceptions.

Does her name rhyme with isafella ?

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

I'm thinking I'm a picky little bitch. I just did the Val play-through, and it did nothing for me. MC came off as thirsty as hell, and I prefer Val's tomboy look over her girly look. I appreciate the progress made and the fact that we learned more about Val.
Now, onto the story proper. I believe nothing nefarious happened. I think Val's phone just died, and Ethan did nothing to her due to who her mom is, so he told Zach she'd be a problem.
Here's a random thought that occurred to me. I appreciate that Erryn checked up on MC when she heard about the breakup with Alexis. She was more worried about MC being fine than anything else.

Now, onto Mck Layla.

Layla is a cutie. Where Mira's clinginess was a turnoff, Layla makes it work. There has been no actual progress, and I do not know how the relationship will go, but there is a nice little sex scene. I imagine dating the Monroe sisters will hasten MC's acknowledgment by his father through the barbeque.
Elena's storyline sooked so much. She wasn't even in it. Getting the two best friends back together was important, but Elena could've at least made a cameo appearance.

 

[Justaphase]

Normally I'd say those 10 points will nuke you out of the next point check Nyx throws in for Erynn's relationship but Erynn has a ton of points now so maybe it's possible to eat the loss. I actually think Val's points are more critical, she doesn't have near as many and a lot of her thresholds (helping you with Ethan, the mall photoshoot) are extremely tight point wise.

Still feels forced that he setup both dates for the same time... if you we could make this choice earlier you wouldn't feel like such a bad situation.

I can't handle seeing Erynn sad, especially because it looks like she was about to burst into tears here.
At least with Val it's over the phone and she definitely seems to handle it better. Ah well, you know how I like to play so I guess no more Erynn + Val runs for me.
Yes the internship is certainly going to be messy. If the MC has been messing around with other girls, Erynn is bound to catch the MC out. So no more Erynn + Layla for people. Honestly I'm surprised that path has gone on for so long, how has Lexi never mentioned to Erynn that the MC is Layla's boyfriend? Or told Layla about the MC and Erynn? I think it's going to be pretty messy I think, especially because it's been going on for so long.
Gabi we've already seen is the jealous type so won't like seeing the MC with Erynn if you're messing around with her.

damn not looking forward to that scene when I make my Val and Erynn save lol I deleted it as I had no idea what save was what when I re did my saves. But yeah I think we are about to get to the point in the game where you can consider it break up season if not on a solo path. I think alot of people are about to find out about some of the cheating going on. Might still be a few chances to avoid it I think but probably less often now.

This is where it kind of annoys me (the way I play, I mean, not the game itself). I set myself up with individual saves for solo runs, but I'm not interested in multi-girl paths unless there's actually a multi-girl relationship on them (e.g., potential Layla/Elena). So when stuff like the finding out phase happens, I want to see it to get all the different drama scenes, but I end up missing them!

Given how is Erynn i think she avoids telling people about her relationship to the MC.
Melissa teases her about it and she pretends to not know what she’s talking about.
I think she’s playing with her cards very close to her chest until it becomes a completely 100% official relationship(which never comes).

Why Alexis doesn't say anything is a bit difficult because if you had sex with her early, the MC becomes something of touchy subject to Alexis.
In this scenario i understand why she doesn't talk about the MC since it's a hurtful topic for her.

Why she doesn't talk in the "never touched Alexis" scenario... i don't really know... still MC was never made officially Layla's boyfriend until this episode... but she could've said something about him hanging out with Layla even if she didn't know the official status of the relationship.

The internship is when things become dangerous, Erynn and Layla will surely take notice of you cozying up to the other...
I suspect many choices where if you kiss/touch Layla... Erynn will be just around the corner.

This is a game where you need a multiple runs, including a few combo saves, to get the full context...
Just don't get too attached when those combo saves go bad, it's part of the experience lol.

It sounds like we both play in a similar way Tony, favouring solo runs where things are far less messy. However I do have a few combo saves which I know will inevitably end up blowing up in my face, even a blind man can see it coming.
Like LSC82 says it is part of the experience and you do miss out on some stuff. Like if I didn't play a Val + Nikki path this update I wouldn't have seen the part where Zane talks about Nikki at the beach. It's only a few renders and lines but it adds that little something which feels like a possible upcoming consequence for seeing them both. Zane really fancies Nikki and with the MC messing around with Val behind her back. Nikki also seemed pretty receptive at the bar when Zane was speaking to her, even if he was just being friendly.
